simpleButton1.ToolTipController = toolTipController1;
textEdit1.ToolTipController = toolTipController1;
simpleButton1.ToolTip = "I\'ve agree to the <href=www.devexpress.com>terms and conditions</href>.<br/>I want to <b>subscribe</b> to the newsletter.";
textEdit1.ToolTip = "Enter your <b>valid</b> e-mail address.";
//...

private void toolTipController1_HyperlinkClick(object sender, HyperlinkClickEventArgs e) {
    // Handle a click on a hyperlink displayed in a tooltip.
}

toolTipController1.AllowHtmlText = True
simpleButton1.ToolTipController = toolTipController1
textEdit1.ToolTipController = toolTipController1
simpleButton1.ToolTip = "I've agree to the <href=www.devexpress.com>terms and conditions</href>.<br/>I want to <b>subscribe</b> to the newsletter."
